Abstract
A transistor of a semiconductor memory device including a semiconductor substrate having a plurality of active regions and a device isolation region, a plurality of first and second trench device isolation layers, which are arranged alternately with each other on the device isolation region of the semiconductor substrate, the first trench device isolation layers having a first thickness corresponding to a relatively high step height, and the second trench device isolation layers having a second thickness corresponding to a relatively low step height, a recess region formed in each of the active regions by a predetermined depth to have a stepped profile at a boundary portion thereof, the recess region having a height higher than that of the second trench device isolation layers to have an upwardly protruded portion between adjacent two second trench device isolation layers, a gate insulation layer, and a plurality of gate stacks formed on the gate insulation layer to overlap with the stepped profile of the respective active regions and the protruded portion of the relevant recess region.
